Subject: Add experimental 'Live Preview' feature. On supported browsers, preview
X-Git-Tag: 1.5.0alpha1~1078
X-Git-Url: http://git.cyclocoop.org/%7B%24admin_url%7Dcompta/comptes/journal.php?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c05eeb66755f74272b4a5f82acc6caaeafc0fb54;p=lhc%2Fweb%2Fwiklou.git
Add experimental 'Live Preview' feature. On supported browsers, preview
can be loaded via JavaScript so it doesn't disturb the surrounding page
as badly. It's also lighter on the server, as it doesn't require skin
rendering. (On short pages with Turck cache, this saves 50% of apache
time!)
Disabled by default, as it's incomplete: interlanguage and category links
aren't displayed, and there are likely other problems.
Nonsupporting browsers or JS off fall back gracefully to form submission.
Tested: Safari 1.2.4, Firefox 1.0, MSIE/Win 6.0 (XPSP2)

Security reminder: MediaWiki does not require PHP's register_globals
setting since version 1.2.0. If you have it on, turn it *off* if you can.
+** NOTE TO COMMITTERS: Before 1.5.0 release, rearrange these nicely
+** and move 1.4 stuff to HISTORY.
+
+== MediaWiki 1.5 ==
+
+New exciting things! Need further work and testing...
+* user groups/permissions scheme
+* e-mail change notifications
+* 'live preview' reduces preview reload burden on supported browsers
+* ...and more!

+Need to merge:
